Is `http_code 499` always an issue on my application's end, or can it be related to Cloudinary's infrastructure?

While `http_code 499` typically indicates that your client, application server, or an intermediary proxy closed the connection due to a timeout, implying the issue originates on your side, it's not exclusively your fault. If Cloudinary's infrastructure is experiencing unusually high load, slowness, or a service disruption, it could prolong processing times, causing operations to exceed your configured timeout limits. Always check Cloudinary's status page during such events, although the error itself is generated by your system or proxy due to a lack of timely response.
